188: Continue to improve, the beast tide appears

Soon, Lin Shu killed all the Ground-Shaking War Bears that were surrounding him, looking to attack.

The four Rank 62 Ground-Shaking War Bears lasted less than five minutes in the hands of Hei Ye and the others.

This was enough to reveal Lin Shu's current extraordinary strength.

He was even more fierce and powerful than he had been during the Ranking Matches.

Such speed and strength won the admiration of many classmates.

With a great god like Lin Shu here, how would a mere beast tide dare to act presumptuously?

It seemed this year's group mission would be exceptionally simple.

At this moment, Li Wen and Chu Yu stood beside Lin Shu, not at all surprised by the scene before them.

The strength of the other party's beasts was far more than what it currently appeared to be.

Suddenly, the crowd behind them grew noisy, and a student holding a phone shouted:

“Everyone, look at the Central Province APP!”

“The mission has appeared!”

Everyone's attention was drawn to this, and upon hearing these words, they all took out their phones and began checking.

Naturally, Lin Shu and the other two were not surprised.

Under these circumstances, the beast tide had clearly begun.

They then opened the Central Province APP, and sure enough, a message had arrived.

Clicking in, they found the mission regarding the clearing of the beast tide at the Soul Severing Mountain Range.

It showed that all first-year students must participate, which was not surprising.

Furthermore, they needed to reach the location of this camp before 12:00 tonight.

Having received such news, the main force still in the city should be rushing over immediately.

If they didn't arrive, they would be directly expelled; the severity of the measure was clear.

This mission was considered quite dangerous, as there would be interference from the Outworlders and even life-threatening crises.

There had been many casualties in previous years, but in the end, with so many people, the overall situation was still controllable.

So, naturally, it wasn't without rewards; the base reward was 100 credits.

Additional rewards would then be added based on subsequent performance.

As long as you put in enough effort, the harvest would be greater.

Moreover, if anyone tried to slack off, they would receive at least a warning disciplinary action.

In some corner, there was a pair of eyes watching them; the school would naturally send people to supervise.

There was even the possibility of being ordered to withdraw from school; Central State University would not show the slightest mercy to such students.

At this moment, everyone began to discuss this topic; after all, it was a beast tide, and the vast majority of students had never experienced one, so they were naturally aware of the dangers involved.

However, with Lin Shu and the other big shots present, their pressure should be much less.

Zhang Hongyi and Gong Min also came to Lin Shu's side at this time.

“We just mentioned this last night; I didn't expect them to act so quickly. It's somewhat unexpected.”

“However, it takes time for a beast tide to gather. The range is roughly around the Soul Severing Mountain Range, and they won't be too concentrated.”

Does it take time to gather?

It seemed that attracting Advanced beasts was still a bit troublesome and couldn't be done overnight. It was truly a pity; at this moment, Lin Shu felt a bit of regret.

But scattered beasts would still arrive, so he would just treat them as some appetizers.

“Taking it slow is fine too.”

“It will give everyone time to adapt.”

Chu Yu expressed his opinion on this; after all, not everyone could adapt to this intensity of combat as soon as they arrived.

Zhang Hongyi nodded and looked at Lin Shu, only to find that the other party had no opinion and was just staring into the depths of the forest, his eyes carrying a hint of lingering desire.

He didn't quite understand, but he continued anyway:

“Yes, I also just discussed the issue of command authority with everyone.”

“The final decision was for me to take it on.”

There was no problem with this choice; aside from Lin Shu, Zhang Hongyi was definitely the best option.

After all, Beastmasters still respected strength above all else.

Lin Shu didn't care much about this and said while looking ahead:

“That's good, you're very suitable.”

Zhang Hongyi gave a sheepish laugh, always feeling that something was strange.

Just as he was about to say something more, quite a few people not far away were already calling out to him.

He had no choice but to go over. After greeting Lin Shu and the other two, he left with Gong Min.

Then Lin Shu rubbed his hands together, planning to head forward and go a bit deeper into the interior. Would there be more beasts in there?

He then said to Li Wen and Chu Yu:

“I'm going to take a look up ahead.”

The two indicated they understood, knowing that he wanted to kill beasts again.

They weren't like Lin Shu; they weren't interested in such things that took so much effort.

So they didn't plan to accompany him.

Instead, they headed to the center of the camp to see how Zhang Hongyi planned to assign everyone's tasks later.

The next few days were going to be busy again.

...

This period of time passed quickly, and soon it was two days later.

That is, March 12th.

By now, most of the beasts within a thousand-mile radius had gathered near the Soul Severing Mountain Range.

They were all drawn by the secret techniques of the Outworlders, becoming increasingly violent and bloodthirsty.

Filled with a desire to attack, the idea of devouring these humans was deeply rooted; this was the influence the secret technique had on them.

Now, even in the vast area outside the camp's range, the figures of these beasts were everywhere.

They were waiting for their chance, awaiting the signal to charge.

They weren't like wild animals that would only charge mindlessly.

And on Central State University's side, under Zhang Hongyi's command, the division of labor against these beasts on the periphery was being carried out in an orderly manner.

The series of actions was considered quite good, winning the praise of the vast majority of people.

At this moment, in a corner of the camp, Lin Shu and the others appeared.

There were many people, fully twenty of them.

This was the area with the strongest offensive power. Looking at the One-Eyed Freaks, Forest Overlord Tigers, and Shadow Leopards among other powerful beasts before them, everyone's brows furrowed slightly; with such a large number, even their team would find it exceptionally difficult.

After all, their Ranks were mostly close to the Seventh Rank. If it weren't for the existence of the barrier, there would probably be even more powerful beasts here.

Therefore, the people who came were all those ranked in the top thirty of the Ranking Matches—the elite of the elite, excluding Li Wen and Chu Yu, of course.

And Zhang Hongyi was also here at this moment, looking ahead with a somewhat worried expression.

He realized he had still somewhat underestimated the power of this beast tide.

This resulted in not enough personnel being assigned here.

However, when his gaze turned to Lin Shu and he recalled the other party's performance over the past two days, he immediately felt much better.

There shouldn't be any problem.

It was clear how terrifying Lin Shu's crazy performance during these two days had been.

At this moment, Black Night Saturn Purple Eyes and Silver Spirit were loosening up their bodies, looking forward to the great battle that was about to take place, their eyes filled with the fire of war.

Lin Shu watched the forest across from him, which was making a lot of noise and occasionally tossing about; he was searching for the figures of the Outworlders, for they would surely launch a sneak attack during the beast tide, which had to be guarded against.

During these two days, with the Outworlders' means of gathering beasts, Lin Shu's speed in gaining proficiency had also increased quite a bit, averaging 2,000 points a day.

So, in these two days, Lin Shu had averaged one level up per day for Hei Ye and the others, which just happened to offset each day's gains.

Now, his team's strength had changed significantly.

Their Ranks were: Hei Ye Rank 67, Tu Yao Rank 50, Ziyu Rank 43, and Silver Spirit Rank 46.

These beast tides were merely nourishment for their progress; the more that came, the greater the progress his beasts would make.

At this moment, on the other side, at the location of Aoki Chen and the other two Outworlders.

They looked at the menacing beast tide before them and were very satisfied; the effect of the secret technique this time was better than last year's.

Even many beasts from further away had been attracted, and their strength was close to the Seventh Rank. They would surely bring a lot of trouble to those Central State University students.

In this way, their success rate would increase by another notch.

Seeing this, the three of them nodded in satisfaction.

Now was indeed the best time to launch the beast tide.

Moqi Mu did not hesitate and immediately activated her means, commanding the beast tide to launch an attack!

“Toot—Toot!”

The whistle of strange characters whistled through the air, its sharp high pitch echoing throughout the Soul Severing Mountain Range.

And this sound also awakened the beasts that had been silent below for a long time.

A flash of blood-red light appeared in their eyes as they mobilized the energy within their bodies.

The sleeping beasts within their bodies had undergone Awakening.

They launched a charging Aura toward everyone ahead!
